Format:Paperback
I spent a few weeks in Idaho over the summer and this book was my guide. Generally it was pretty useful, although a lot of the information it provided was out of date (guess that's the danger of buying a three year old guide book).
The local maps were generally accurate and useful, there is some good detailed information on more popular areas but if you're going off the beaten path you won't be needing to make space in your back pack.
I have a couple of other Idaho guide books and this proved to be the best of a bad bunch.
If you're just trying to get a feeling of what to do, where to go, etc then this will do you just fine, if you're a serious traveller then you're going to want to get additional maps and such.

this again is a useful aid to planning your trip, full of useful information if a little repetitive.

Like traveling with a tour guide!
20 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This book provided lots of helpful information during our exploration of the state. It provided maps, accommodations, restaurant that suits our budget, scenic places, and a bit of history about the state; its climate and its people. It covers all sides of Idaho: Southwest, South Central, The High Country, North Central and the Panhandle. We stayed in BOY-see, not BOY-zee and certainly not the French "bwah-zay! As you could see, the author added humor to this guide. As suggested, we jogged the serene tree-lined Boise River Greenbelt, biked at the pristine Boise Front, explore the Grove--the largest park near downtown, and clicked our cameras away to capture the scenic mountains. As we strolled down the cosmopolitan area, we knew exactly where to eat, where to go for amusement, and where to withdraw money. We had fun. We also explored the beautiful city of Eagle--a place that took our breaths away. Our next stop? Coeur D'Alene. And we're taking our tour guide with us: The Moon Handbooks.Cold Eyes

Great, but not what I wanted
10 April 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was my first venture into the Moon Handbooks and, I must say, it is as thorough as any guidebook could be in describing local attractions. It is not, however, a complete guide. What I'm finding out is that one needs a library of guidebooks when traveling. I had hoped that this would include some of the information that one would find in, say, Roadside Geology guides, but that kind of information seems to be lacking.
The guide to local towns, restaurants, activities for seasons, contained in the Moon Handbook is excellent I recommend it to anyone interested in those areas. If you are going for more geological and topological reasons, look elsewhere.

Excellent and very humorous guide book
24 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
Not only is this a great travel guide, but it is also very humorous. I once worked with Don Root and his personality is exactly what you would expect after reading this book--quiet, a little off center, with a very dry sense of humor. He totally explored Idaho when writing this book. Highly recommended, not only as an excellent guide book, but as an entertaining read.
